You lookin' at me?
Today I saw two veiled girls staring at me as if they wanted to kill me. At first I wasn't completely sure that they were looking at me, but when I took a second glance I saw that their eyes were still locked on me and the closer they got the more they were staring and talking to each other. I had no idea who these people were, I had never seen them before in my life so I was totally confused as to why they were staring at me like that. Then when they finally walked passed me they actually turned their head to continue staring at me sneering nastily. At this point I cracked a smile, the look these idiots had on their face was just too funny. Now that kind of thing isn't normal, usually it's just 5 to 10 seconds of staring, but still it happens to me all the time.
So why is that these people insist on staring? This is just a theory, but I think that they do because they are insecure about themselves. They need to know what everyone else looks like in order to make sure they look better or to make sure that they fit in. Then again maybe I'm wrong, maybe they just stare to be assholes. But one of these days when I finally say screw it to the world I'm going to fulfill a dream that I've had for a long time, I'm going to gouge someone's eyes out. I'm going to teach the first person I see staring at me a lesson and permanently blind them. So word to the wise, if you stare, stop doing it cause you never know when the next person you stare at might just finally lose it. :)

I used to have to put all my energy into stopping myself from giving them the finger, or a slap in the face when I'm in a particularly bad mood. This was worst in the first few months back home after living abroad.
But over the years I've grown accustomed to zoning them out and just being about my business, i.e. pimping.
millzero: usually i dont bother with them, unless it goes to extreme.
fag: haha ima try that. pretend to be a supermodel.
canofworms: usually i zone them out too. but it really is embarrassing when someone is looking you up and down and and pointing you out to other people. I just take a deep breath and tell myself its not me, its them. i am normal and they are the freaks of nature.
shaha: i treid that but they kept sneering at me and talking about me. i felt like a celebrity. a notorious one at that.
topical madness: exactly! but the ones who harassed me weren't in tents, they were the plain old burkas. and when i gave them a dirty look and said loudly, 'they are still looking at me!' ..yeap they kept on looking and bitching.
The ironic thing is, I get cross-eyed stares at me from buruga AND non-buruga people :/ Most of the time, I don't notice them until someone points it out that some woman across the street is giving me the eye.
I think its just narrow-mindedness...as if people don't have enough problems in their own lives to wait around and gossip/stare at other people.
I have a lot of close long-time friends who have different beliefs, who dress different and live a totally different life from me. But we get along just fine.So all the buruga people out there are not the same. :) I think staring and looking down on people, is a problem lots of maldivian females have in particular. Best not bother about it. I tried smiling back at a couple of females who were staring and whispering like that. It worked wonders. Snuffed up their nose and looked away. lol! cheers :)
sincerely, an 'addu bitch' :)
